So much more satisfying than Project Runway - no drama and bitchiness, but the real plus is that there is so much focus on actually sewing - so an opportunity to learn. <br /><br />Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132044454683106362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-44561236601099840132013-04-28T02:44:29.743-04:002013-04-28T02:44:29.743-04:00 Well just finished the sewing bee, thank you for ...

As we all hoped, it is going to be longer - yay! Unfortunately only by 2 episodes though - 6 instead of 4 - boo!

Though we like Project Runway a lot, my husband hit the nail: this show has it beat because egos are never in the picture. Only problem is I think he&#39;s learning from watching this...

That show is like crack! I am simultaneously drooling to see Ep 4 and sobbing that it will all be over after that. Why, oh why can&#39;t we make shows like this in the States?

I prefer this to Project Runway these days (definitely downhill since moving from Bravo)-- none of the angst, back-biting and snark, more sewing and creating using a pattern as a base or personalizing the look of a ready-made garment. Ann is as charming, gracious and delightful as I imagined.patsijeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362426384481772370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-76540373243518484522013-04-22T23:48:51.868-04:002013-04-22T23:48:51.868-04:00Forgot to add, I would have loved to have seen wha...Forgot to add, I would have loved to have seen what Mark would have done with the child&#39;s dress.

I plug In my earphones and watch on my iPad while the family looks at me strangely (apparently I grin, gasp , frown and shed a tear as someone is voted out...who knew?). I also think their quickie demos are horrible.
